Abstract

Amine- and copper salt-free palladium-catalyzed homo-coupling reaction of terminal alkynes proceeded efficiently in the presence of silver(I) oxide, which served as both activator and oxidant, in tetrahydrofuran at 60 °C to achieve satisfactory yields of 1,3-diyne compounds. It was demonstrated for the first time by means of XPS analysis that Pd(0) species can be oxidated to Pd(II) by silver(I) oxide.
